"Temporarily unavailable" is likely an indication that too many users are trying to update at the same time and the servers are overloaded.

As the message indicates......."Try again later"

Give it another 2-3 days for things to die down a bit and then give it another try. If you just can't wait.....try again late at night or very early in the morning when traffic is not as heavy.

How I fixed this issue. Settings..General..Scroll down..Transfer or reset iPhone..Reset..reset all settings. Upon restart the update was able to complete very easily. Took me months of casually troubleshooting to get to this solution and funny thing is I never saw this solution in all the threads I’ve searched etc. Hope this helps
